Comments on: Culture & Education Proposition 1 http://media.ourhudson.org/task-force-themes/culture-education-proposition-1/ A forum on the future of our Valley Wed, 20 Oct 2010 02:01:10 +0000 hourly 1 By: Betsy Jacks http://media.ourhudson.org/task-force-themes/culture-education-proposition-1/comment-page-1/#comment-101 Betsy Jacks Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:43:23 +0000 http://media.ourhudson.org/?p=2539#comment-101 I applaud the dedicated participants of "Our Hudson" for doing this important work. It is wonderful that this legacy project was suggested, organized and implemented. It is encouraging to see such great minds working together. Thank you all for giving your time and attention to our beloved Hudson River. If I may, I do have a comment/suggestion for the "Culture and Education" Task Force. The report deals with the important issue of conservation and education, but I wondered if there might be an additional report somewhere that deals specifically with culture? America's cultural heritage began here in the Valley, with the birthplace of this country's first great art movement, the Hudson River School. Thank you again for making this project a success.

How can business owners and residents press for a vaccine for Lyme disease? It has afflicted everyone I know in the area including myself. This is a deterrent and presents a burden to living here. It must be addressed for this region to be viable in the long term. When are we going to address the elephant in the living room:
